Job costing
Early accessJob cost tied to the unit.
Labor, materials and purchase-order cost attach to the same work order that is linked to the equipment and the agreement, not a spreadsheet reconciled after the fact.
What the job actually cost.
Cost inherits the equipment and agreement links the work order already has.
What job costing carries.
Automatic cost capture
LiveLabor, materials and purchase-order cost attributed from the work order, tied to its equipment and agreement.
Department P&L rollup
Early accessCost and revenue by department, filterable by branch and date, with CSV, Excel or PDF export. An owner promotes it in stages, report-only first.
Assignment corrections
LiveReclassify a department from the edit screen with a required reason.
Commissions

Straight answers.
Is job cost tied to a specific piece of equipment?
Through the work order. Every work order carries the equipment it was for, and cost events key off that same work order, so job cost inherits the equipment link. The same applies to the agreement it billed under.
Does cost capture need a rollout or setup?
Cost capture is live for every organization. What is staged is the department P&L rollup, which an owner promotes report-only first, then cost and revenue attribution, then manager compensation.
Are commissions calculated automatically?
Yes. A technician's commission plan calculates when their work order completes and lands on a ledger. Rate, multiplier and cap are snapshotted when earned, so editing the plan later does not change a commission already earned.
What happens if a job is assigned to the wrong department?
It can be reclassified from its edit screen with a required reason. The correction is recorded and the snapshots already posted stay unchanged, so a closed period stays closed.
Does job costing post to my accounting system?
Exports carry a snapshot of the attribution recorded at posting time. That does not activate a general-ledger mapping or a payroll payout. Your accounting system still owns the books.
